Gowon life was also in danger in the first days of the Revenge Coup


they had just finished off Gen Ironsi with Col Fajuyi and being a Christian in the midst of enraged armed Northern
soldiers Gowon's own position was dicey because the Muslim soldiers preferred Gen Muritala to Gowon

Gen Ogundipe was sleeping in a Ship off Lagos in ordered to not be assassinated by them

Ojukwu was hiding in the Police HQ in Enugu

col Adebayo was sleeping in his friends house in Town

Obasanjo and his wife had to run away to Maiduguri because according to mama Iyabo his first wife the Northern Soldiers went to their house in Kaduna to kill him him but they just missed them as someone had leaked the plan to kill Obasanjo to them just few hours before

Those were days of complete Chaos

A muslim military office in Kano was killed when he tried to stop the rampage

LegendHero:


This cowarddd will rather blame Yoruba who never went the barbaric way as the Northerners in mudding 30k of your people after their Ibo coup that terminated our premier.

Hausa mud 30k Ibos in cold blud, Ibo man trying to shift the blame on the Yoruba who had no hand in it.

This shows fear is a great weapon. You guys fear the Northerners because you know they can indeed “mud” if you anger them.

You accuse Awo as the mastermind behind your defeat. Yet same you cry when we say the Yoruba won the war for Nigeria. Stay in one place abeg.

If not ment, how do you engage in a war and expect your enemies to feed and cloth you? Does that even make sense? Even during USA civil war, the union army laid a blockade against the secessionists and lot of people starve to death. It’s war, no love in war.

Yeah, the joys of 'one Nigeria' has been us killing ourselves in the millions just because the white man brought us together in his colonial project called "Nigeria"

LegendHero:
Yakubu Gowon cannot protect the Ibos from the mob.

When your leaders commit abominable acts, you don’t judge how people respond.

If Ironsi did not prosecute the Ibo coupist, Gowon had no power to stop the mob either.

Did you know more than IBB that was on ground when those events happen ?

Gowon is alive. So Gowon should counter IBB

Gowon life was in danger yet he was installed as head of state by the same northern soldiers ?

Gowon life was in danger yet him and American and British Diplomats urged murtala to drop his Araba secession idea of pulling the north out of Nigeria.

Gowon was the one that tells Murtala to drop his secessionist agenda.

How can someone that you claims that his life was in danger in the midst of the bloody coup be pulling all this strings ?

kettykin:


Gowon was misled. And I believe he will spill the beans some day about how people ill advised him against protecting igbos in the north. We all know who advised him to starve women and children and who advised him to trash Aburi Agreement but we don't know yet why he refused to at least protect vulnerable igbos in the north.

look for the hands of skull miners in any igbo misfortune.......very hidden hands!!

kettykin:
He utterly failed to protect the Igbo people in the North, standing by as they were slaughtered. When presented with the last chance to prevent 30 months of bloodshed—the Aburi Agreement—he discarded it without a second thought. War erupted, and he abandoned all pretense of humanity, violating internationally recognized rules of engagement. Instead of fighting with honor, he waged war on the defenseless, deploying starvation as a weapon to exterminate innocent women and children.

The Achievements of the War:

The Bakassi Peninsula was handed over, stripping the land away, a betrayal disguised as diplomacy.

The Bight of Biafra was erased, replaced with the Bight of Benin—a reward for Benin’s loyalty.

All oil companies moved their headquarters to Lagos, ensuring Lagos reaped the spoils of war.

The loss of Bakassi to Cameroon, a bribe disguised as a territorial concession.

The murder of three million souls, deliberately starved to death by a military machine driven by pure, unfiltered hatred—an offering to darkness itself.

The destruction of Onitsha markets, the University of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN), countless homes, and schools, a scorched-earth reward for the forces of devastation.


He preferred to give away the Bakassi Peninsula rather than honor a single document—the Aburi Agreement—that could have spared millions.

And now, this cursed entity—Liegeria—marches on, but its fate is sealed. Only God knows the judgment that awaits this land. May Liegeria be cursed beyond all nations, past and future. May it never find peace until it is erased from existence.


Watch how envious people from the same part of the country will come and dispute what an insider is saying about the first coup , civi wat preferring to believe concocted lies and miserable fallacies

bight of Biafra I different from Bight of Benin..stop bringing up lies .

The British and the french made Nigerian borders ..if they say Bakassi peninsula is in Cameroon ..only a fool will argue that .

“Gen. Yakubu Gowon's failure to secure and protect the lives and properties of the Igbos in the North forced Col. Emeka Ojukwu to declare the secession of the Eastern Region from Nigeria in May 1967, leading to the fratricidal Nigerian-Biafran civil war”

How can you take a single sentence out of a 400 page book and make such a definitive claim? You haven't even read the book

Igbo coupist Propaganda is DEAD..

Tinubu was there and heard it...this information from a living active participant has smashed your worthless lies and propaganda.

What is true though..is that

ILORIN..a YORUBA land is now owned by Fulani.

The name YORUBA was given to your worthless generation by Fulani.


Your real name is LUKUMI..spits

Haven't you seen that your worthless Gowon is not regarded by the core power players?

In the North..Gowon is worthless..that is why herdsmen are killing his people without pity

Let them try a real General like TY DANJUMA..that also s the fact that the coup is NOT an IGBO Coup.

You and generation of liars have failed...

Cry Blood..

Thay is not just a sentence..it's a DIRECT quote that will be referenced when need be.

IBB ..has said his piece...

Simple

Dude, you're beginning to sound very pathetic.

Dude, you're beginning to sound very pathetic.

You read how IBB himself did put it. Nzeogwu was seen more of a 'HAUSA' but yet killed Sadauna and Ahmadu Bello and you expect such betrayal not to face such consequences?!

Let’s keep to the narrative and focus on the key point: this was not an Igbo-led coup, as is often mistakenly believed. In fact, more Yorubas participated than Igbos, and the primary beneficiary, as has been stated, was Yoruba.

Gen Yakubu Gowon great Man

Bendeco02:
But yoruba people will never agree.

They will stay in their region and narrate everything that happens in all regions.

The did has been done but spreading false info about Igbos will never be taken or neglate.

Lols,
Particularly Helinues and his m0ronic brother Yarimo.

They have NEVER stepped foot out of their Ogbomosho and Osogbo but they claim Obaseki, Okowa, Diri, Alex Otti, etc are Bad governors.

While the two faced, ever envious, covetous Yoruba elders have been lying to their children that it is because Igbo always want to dominate. While intentionally omitting that the coup they tagged ‘Igbo' was also crushed by Igbo officers. Inclusive of the same Ojukwu they ended up vilifying, for wanting to protect his people, like he did for the north during the coup. Imagine all the lives that have been wasted all because these despicable criminal luvin tribe is incapable of ever speaking truth to power!

Ibo people and lies.

They claimed other tribe participated in the coup ok let agree with their lies for once.

How come only Ibo officers killed tafawa balewa, ahmadu bello, mimilari, okotie eboh, ademulegun, pam, akintola, and co.

I also believe awolowo would have been murdered if not that he was imprisoned.

And left aguiyi Ironsi, nnamdi azikwe, okpara, ojukwu, and other ibo leaders alive.


How many people were killed by the non-igbo officers who they falsely claimed participated in the coup

Thank God IBB is the one saying this, written and documented in a book for all to read.

All those calling Ojukwu and Igbos bad names and insulting them for the secession can now eat their shame.

IBB has finally set the records straight.

From now on, Igbos rejoice the truth has vindicated you.

We now know who to blame for the war, gowon not Ojukwu.

Ojukwu acted to protect his people from genocide on of a coup they never plotted but was nailed on them.

Thank you IBB
